[cite]Posted By: Alex Wright[/cite]When at school we had a tour of the BBC Television Centre. We were allowed in 'the gallery' while they were recording a episode of Dad's Army.
I've been in the audience for have I got news for you and a channel 4 thing called Loose Talk recorded at the Albany Empire.
I've been on Soccer AM three times as a fan of the week, did the catwalk.
Oh, and Mastermind.
Was on Soccer AM in the mid 90s. Still have a tape somewhere. Was on with Gonad, Martin Lack and I can't remember who else now.
Done lots of radio but I've got the face for that.
I was interviewed on French TV at Le Mans a few years ago. Whilst I can speak French reasonably well, anyone who knows me will tell you that my hearing is less than perfect and it was a bit of a shambles. I don't think it was used!
I was interviewed on the way into an Ulster rugby match in Belfast once by Sky. The journo grabbed me because he saw the Charlton badge on my jacket and wondered what I was doing there rather than being at at a Charlton match (sound familiar, Medders?).
Ulster won their European Cup semi-final that day, while CAFC lost 3-1 at Southampton. Think I made the right choice - not that there was much choice, though, as it was all part of visiting the in-laws...

Sounds very familiar! There's now also a Facebook group to honour my splitting activities...
Went and saw Never Mind the Buzzcocks when Amy WInehouse was on it and was surprised by how funny she was, even though she was off her nut! Simon Amstell is the man though, was great the time Preston from the Ordinary Boys walked off the show!
sky sports news.
whilst queueing for operation riverside tickets, sky were doing a peice on the freebie.
being 'at work' whilst queueing (for ages), i was aware of the presence of the cameras and had been successful in avoiding them for about an hour. however i took my eye off the ball for 1 split second and lost sight of the cameraman. in a calm panic i stuck my head out of the cue to find said camera about 3 ft away pointing in my direction. 15 mins later numerous phone calls (none from work) saying they'd seen me on ssn.
came home and saw the item (repeated every half hour) and i wouldn't have stood out more if i was dressed as mr claypole from rentaghost attending a funeral.
Off to see All Star Family Fortunes being recorded tonight with Vernon Kay. I know , its not the greatest show in the world but the tickets were free and it's a day out. I'm actually looking forward to it.
Many years ago my school appeared on a programme called 'hey look that's me' but I think it was only on BBC South! Step-daughter was on Wild last Saturday on CBBC.

Well, you do live in Biggleswade mate...
Went to Pointless a couple of years back (a mate is make up artist on it), a couple of Fantasy Football league shows, Oh Boy and Lets Rock back in the eighties and Babes In The Wood about twenty years ago (another mate was working on that too) sat in the front row in my Addicks shirt and between takes Karl Howman came over for a chat when he saw it. I forgot to remind him about it when he came to my bar to watch a Charlton game a few years ago. Not sure he would have remembered anyway... :-p
... and saw Steve Jones hanging around outside trying to get thing signed
Which thing?
A Clive mendonca shirt... christ Suzi what a weird post from 2007!!!
A very old bump this. And i cant believe I didnt write on it since it was still fresh that me, Tavern and Vince had been interviewed in the Oak by Football Focus I think that year or near then. Actually would it have been Jan 2007? Dowie was manager and we were bottom. I must dig that dvd out.
Recently went to see two episodes of the new Dave Gorman show "Modern Life is Goodish" being filmed. Have previously been to see QI, Whose Line is it Anyway and a few years back The Cut & The Word.
I got through to swap shop in the 70's and spoke to Noel and some guy (Tony something) who did nature programmes. Used to try and get through for the whole time it was on every week. Was the talk of the playground on Monday as everyone used to watch it.
I was on some kids programme called tricky tv , got pranked ( got asked to hit a pinyata wen they put the blind fold on me they took it away) I stood there for 5 minutes wondering where the hell it had gone! Lol.
Been to see Top Gear recorded, Clarkson, Hammond and Captain Slow would do their bit and video be played over screens whilst those three smoked in a back room. Tea and Crisps were provided.
I did Soccer am about 11 years ago - Paddy Mcguiness and his mate the ex Bolton / Ireland player were the guests. Good few pints with them after. Lovejoy was a wally.
I got to 'come on down' on The Price is Right in 2005 with Joe Pasquale at Granada studios. Won bugger all - couldnt figure how much a pewter jug was ! Was a fun afternoon though.

Quite funny as obviously had no idea what it was like - had Lineker, Gower, Lee Hurst, Rory McGrath,Roger Black and someone else on it.

Was good fun.
Also been to the PDC World Champs at the Ally Pally loads of times which the way it is set up is effectively like being part of a TV audience!
